Ryan Reynolds isn’t exactly the first guy I would think of to play opposite one of the coolest and talented actors in hollywood, Mr. Denzel Washington, in a action-thriller no less. That being said, I was pleasantly surprised when I finally saw the below trailer for their upcoming film, Safe House, where Reynolds plays a desk agent who must “protect” Washington, a dangerous and rogue CIA agent from being killed.
The movie is directed by Swedish director Daniel Espinosa (Easy Money), also stars Brendan Gleeson, Vera Farmiga, Sam Shepard, and Robert Patrick and is set to be released on February 10, 2012. Check out the trailer below and let us know what you think of it in the comments section.
Oscar® winner Denzel Washington and Ryan Reynolds star in the action-thriller Safe House. Washington plays the most dangerous renegade from the CIA, who comes back onto the grid after a decade on the run. When the South African safe house he’s remanded to is attacked by mercenaries, a rookie operative (Reynolds) escapes with him. Now, the unlikely allies must stay alive long enough to uncover who wants them dead.
For the past year, Matt Weston has been frustrated by his inactive, backwater post in Cape Town. A “housekeeper” who aspires to be a full-fledged agent, the loyal company man has been waiting for an opportunity to prove himself. When the first and only occupant he’s had proves to be the most dangerous man he’s ever met, Weston readies for duty.
Tobin Frost has eluded capture for almost a decade. One of the best ops men that the CIA’s known, the ex-intelligence officer has given up assets and sold military intel to anyone with cash since he turned. From trading secrets to North Korea to aiding splinter cells, the damage he’s done to the U.S. is immeasurable. And he’s now back on the reservation with a secret.
As soon as Frost is brought in for debriefing, mercenaries come and tear apart Weston’s safe house. Barely escaping, the unlikely partners must discover if their attackers have been sent by terrorists or someone on the inside who will kill anyone standing in the way. Now it’s up to Weston to figure out who he can trust before they’re both eliminated from the game.
